[QUOTE="Lil, post: 700567, member: 17309"] Well, this is one for the record books. He left here Thursday with about $700. His hotel was $160 + internet and such. He's broke. He said he went to WalMart and bought a tent with the gift card I gave him...but the fact is I don't think he's ever even put one up. He called tonight, late, almost 10 our time, and said he'd apparently lost $80 out of his wallet and didn't have enough for the motel he was at. Meaning he doesn't even have $50 to his name. :( After a bit of debate, I tried to pay by phone, but they wouldn't let me. I was going to moneygram or Western Union the money, but all are closed. Finally I found a Super 8 that would let me pay by phone - If I'd email my credit card and driver's license front and back. This is nuts, I know, but I did it. One night only. (Yeah...I'll be reporting that card lost in a day or two and getting a new one.) I told him...one night only. I told him he has to figure it out himself after this, no more help. I can't freaking believe he ran through all that money in 3 days. :( I expected something like this eventually, but not so soon. I told him I won't bail him out again - he's on his own. He's talking about Denver, which is much more expensive, but also has multiple shelters. He apparently has enough for a bus ticket. This whole thing is unbelievable. Just over a week ago, he had a job and money enough to get his own place. How did this go so wrong so fast? We should never have paid the train ticket. We should have talked him out of this fiasco. Now he's two states away and practically penniless. It's crazy. [/QUOTE]
